Toby on Flo What were you hoping for? To meet someone interesting and lively with a good taste in music. First impressions? Flo was relaxed and friendly; the conversation flowed straight away. She was also completely understanding about me going to the wrong restaurant. I apologised profusely. What did you talk about? South Korean dog grooming. The label PC Music and the artists we both love on it. Turning memes into incredible art. Politics (briefly). Any awkward moments? I ordered the lamb with mushrooms even though I’m not a big fan of mushrooms. They turned out to be the bulk of it. Flo wouldn’t eat them for me. Good table manners? Exemplary. She offered to share her food and was lovely to the staff. Best thing about Flo? She has so much art and design talent; I was blown away by her work. Would you introduce her to your friends? Definitely, we’d have a great night out at a gig together. Describe Flo in three words? Engaging, creative and sparkling. What do you think she made of you? Hopefully as relaxed and easy to talk to as she was. Did you go on somewhere? No, we were at the restaurant until quite late. Time flew by. And … did you kiss? No. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? We wouldn’t have forgotten the selfie! Either that or I would have gone to the right restaurant initially. Marks out of 10? 8. Would you meet again? I think so, as friends. I think we’d be great mates – we have lots in common. Flo on Toby What were you hoping for? True love, top grub. First impressions? I liked him immediately. His smile was contagious. What did you talk about? South London. V-neck T-shirts. His love of planes. Hydrogen power. Covers of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill. Any awkward moments? When I was told he was going to be late because he had gone to the wrong restaurant. It was actually very sweet. Good table manners? Very good. We shared everything, no spillages. Best thing about Toby? He was very funny and easy to get on with. We had a lot in common. Would you introduce him to your friends? Of course. They’d really like him. Describe Toby in three words? Witty, kind, handsome. What do you think he made of you? I think he really enjoyed hanging out, but I’m unsure whether he fancied me. Did you go on somewhere? No, but we had to frantically meet up again afterwards on Battersea bridge as we’d forgotten to take our selfie. And … did you kiss? I’m afraid not. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? I would have left room for dessert and another cocktail. Marks out of 10? A strong 8. Would you meet again? I would be open to the idea.
